School for Education Freiburg

Between October 2012 and March 2013, fashion and textile lecturers at the Institut für Alltagskultur, Bewegung und Gesundheit (Institute of everyday culture, movement and health) and their students worked in Freiburg with Afghan embroideries from the Laghmani project. Subject-specific and teacher-training seminars were run by D.Köhler and E.Zeyher-Plötz under the heading of gender projects. A.-M. Grundmeier was in charge of the organization.

Textile artist Pascale Goldenberg gave an introductory lecture on the subject. The students explored in depth design and content related aspects of interpretation and processes of making to embed the Afghan embroideries into their own work. The project received the gender award from the equality commission.
